| 1. Notified cases of tuberculosis are diagnosed on the basis of clinical and/or microbiological findings. | |
| 2. There are no data on the number of symptomless people who are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis because there are no validated tests that can be used to screen large numbers of people. These people cannot transmit tuberculosis to others, but can later develop active tuberculosis disease and then may transmit infection to other people. | |
